I began my street art career in 1981 here in Atlanta. At first, I was cutting stencils of my poetry and painting it around town. That morphed into street sculptural installations and billboard manipulations. At the time, there was no “Street Art” movement, no internet and instant communication. I took very few photos of what I was doing. It really didn’t occur to me to chronicle these activities. I was calling what I did “Guerilla Art”, since there was no encompassing terminology at that time.

Paranoia Board

The Paranoia Board is an open, interactive, and ongoing project with various members and non-members contributing to it from time-to-time. This is the Board as of March 2013.

Freeside is home to a few Evereman tiles. Evereman is a local street artist that lives and works in Atlanta. Evereman was a presenter at TEDxPeachtree.

I began my street art career in 1981 here in Atlanta. At first, I was cutting stencils of my poetry and painting it around town. That morphed into street sculptural installations and billboard manipulations. At the time, there was no “Street Art” movement, no internet and instant communication. I took very few photos of what I was doing. It really didn’t occur to me to chronicle these activities. I was calling what I did “Guerilla Art”, since there was no encompassing terminology at that time.

Emily Pidgeon

I painted [I am not a number] in 2010 as part of my undergraduate thesis project, in which I used methods found in advertising and propaganda to communicate a positive message to the community. This particular piece was about democracy in the digital age, drawing from Iron Maiden's sample in "The Prisoner", the text serves as a protest to Orwellian self-fulfilling prophecies we've encountered in the digital era. The young man signifies a "little brother" figure, a young rebel of sorts who stands up to "big brother". In my mind, he represents hackers, artists, and activists. He represents anybody willing to stand up to tyranny in our modern world. The "copyleft" next to my signature grants the world permission to use and redistribute the work however they please. Information should be free and public. Art too, should be free and public.
